Beach Engagement Shoot

Queena and Wey’s sunrise and beach engagement session at Shakespear Regional Park

Beaches are stunning locations for engagement photoshoots, especially during the breathtaking sunrise. I love witnessing the magic of the early morning sun and the peaceful sound of waves crashing on the shore. It creates such a romantic atmosphere. Imagine my excitement when Queena and Wey mentioned they were going to have their engagement shoot at Shakespear Regional Park!

Located at Whangaparaoa Road, Army Bay, this park is a great location for capturing the intimate moments. I adore photo sessions that include a light stroll because couples can take their time to take in the scenery. When the landscape is as magical as the mountain and cliff top views in Shakespear Regional Park, it makes for the perfect opportunity for couples to reflect on their love story as I capture the raw and candid moments.

Truly, what makes a sunrise engagement shoot at the beach special is the sense of tranquility. At this early hour, the world is still asleep. You and your partner can bask in the serenity and intimacy of the moment. The absence of crowds and distractions gives you the freedom to be yourselves. I’ve shot multiple sessions at beaches already, and each experience of witnessing the sky transition in colour is always so unique. From the the sunrise and the warm tones, there’s countless opportunities for lovely engagement portraits against this backdrop.

I absolutely love how the images for Queena and Wey’s engagement shoot at Shakespear Regional Park turned out. For more inspiration on engagement sessions at the beach, have a look at this blog I made about the best engagement photo shoot locations in Auckland.
